Abbie shares her background with us as we chat about her gift as a medium, discuss her journey as a healer, and how Tai Chi and energy work contribute positively to our well-being and healing our grief.Our conversation dives into the nuances of mediumship, how spirits communicate differently, and the importance of evidential support in the healing process. Abbie also addresses skepticism (rightfully so!), the significance of personalized experiences in mediumship, and offers valuable advice on opening up to the healing journey after loss.

063. Grieving and Growing: Reflecting on 4 Years Since My Dad’s Death
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
The angel day of my dad, Greg Jordan, is coming up on July 13th, so I’m reflecting on the last four years since his death.I wanted to have an open, vulnerable conversation and share some thoughts and feelings that I'm having around approaching this (unfortunate) milestone. I did this last year with my mom on her for your angel day as well, and I think it's so important to take a moment to process and reflect on days like these.So, I’m sharing what I'm feeling and thinking with this day approaching, but also some things I'm reflecting on and things I've learned in the last several years.My goal is for really anyone here listening to glean something from this episode, and take something away from this conversation that you can apply to your grieving and healing journey.Work with me:- 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief- Explore my Intentional Life After Loss membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership- Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara

062. How to Cope with a Loss of Identity as we Grieve
Thursday Jul 04, 2024
Thursday Jul 04, 2024
“Wife”
“Mother”
“Father”
“Sibling”
“Friend”
“Cousin”
“Boyfriend”
“Girlfriend”
“Partner”
“Dog mom” or “dog dad”
… the list goes on.
How do you identify?
What identity do you feel has changed since you’ve suffered your loss? Has it evolved? Do you still identify as whatever your “title” is? Perhaps not sure yet and trying to figure it out? Maybe figuring out what this new shift in your reality actually means for you now?
So relatable, my friend.
When we suffer a loss, we’re left to wonder… where does this leave us? What now? For many, sadly, they find themselves asking if they deserve these titles still. In this episode this week, we're digging into that!
We'll talk about how to understand the complexities of coping with feeling a loss of identity after you’ve been through a loss, and how this affects the grieving process.

061. Navigating & Healing Grief Through Ayurveda with Dr. Sweta Vikram
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
Thursday Jun 27, 2024
Dr. Sweta Vikram, PhD is a dedicated Doctor of Ayurveda, a globally renowned speaker, and an acclaimed author of 14 best-selling books.The goal of her work is to alleviate stress and elevate the overall quality of her clients' lives through Ayurveda-based health and wellness coaching. She specializes in addressing disordered sleep, anxiety, digestion, appetite, and mood.I was so excited to talk to her more about Ayurveda, specifically, because this practice was a key focus as I was earning my Soul Purpose and Transformational Life Coaching certification.Ayurveda has truly been transformative not only in coping with my grief and improving my overall health and wellbeing, but really in my own journey of finding my soul’s purpose and understanding how to move forward after loss. It led me to some major changes in my life, and I have no doubt it can open that door for you, too.But even more than the Ayurveda piece of this puzzle, we get into so many beautiful topics around loss and navigating life with grief that will leave you uplifted and inspired.

058. Raising Frequency and Vibrational Levels During Grief
Thursday Jun 06, 2024
Thursday Jun 06, 2024
Let’s talk good vibrations and high frequencies! This mindset shift and being aware of what we're talking about in this episode can be pivotal as we cope with the day-to-day complexities of grief, life after loss, and life in general.
Fun fact: this entire episode is based on one of my most popular blog posts! But I think this just goes to show how needed this conversation is.
The overarching goal of this episode is to understand frequency and vibrational levels overall, but especially as we grieve or go through a difficult time.
We’ll talk about:
What vibrational and frequency levels are and why they're important.
How keeping these things high can positively affect how we cope with grief and navigate life after loss.
20 ways that you can begin raising your frequency and vibrational levels.

All of these and more deserve to be recognized and can be equally shocking!But fear not, my friend… there are ways to work through this shock and find some semblance of peace again. Today, we’ll acknowledge the trauma that shock from a loss can leave on our hearts, and talk about ways to cope with it.Join the waitlist for my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://losses-become-gains.myflodesk.com/i75sdwbftnEpisode 38, Creating a Routine and Why It’s Important in Grief: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/038-creating-a-routine-and-why-its-important-in-grief/id1688812587?i=1000641332343Freebies: https://lossesbecomegains.com/free-toolsWork with me:

054. 7 Reasons Why Alone Time is Important for Healing
Thursday May 09, 2024
Thursday May 09, 2024
Today I wanted to have a quick conversation about why alone time is important in our grieving journey, and in our healing journey. We're going to talk about seven reasons I feel this way, both as a Grief and Transformational Life Coach and a fellow griever.I know we can sometimes want to be surrounded by people as we're grieving, and I always encourage that! Having a solid support system is critical.But the thing is, the practice of embracing alone time can lead to self-reflection, introspection, and thinking about where our life was, where it is, and where we see it going. We can't always do that if we're inundated with other people, right?All I want you to do today—no matter where you fall on this spectrum of wanting people around you—is to hear me out on this topic. I think there is so much peace to be found when we have that time alone, and here we’ll talk about why!Work with me:

I am incredibly honored to share today's guest with you guys. I’ve been a fan of hers for a LONG time now, y’all! I connected with her through Instagram, back when I first started following her early in the days of Losses Become Gains. I absolutely fell in love with her content and her beautiful writing, and now I have the privilege of sharing her with YOU today!I have no doubt you are going to love her as well. Today, we are chatting with Michelle DeVille. She is a grief specialist, educator, coach, end of life doula (we get into what this is in this episode!), speaker, and writer.Here, she shares her profound story with us—and let me tell you, she has suffered a lot of loss of different kinds.But really, her message is so beautiful. Like most of us, she knows how paralyzing grief and loss can be. It's because of her own painful life experiences that she is dedicated to helping others, just like you, who are struggling and facing some of their most difficult season ever.She and I share the belief that we can't escape loss and grief, but we CAN choose how we live and love every single day. It all comes down to how we navigate it, how we cope, and how we can shift our perspective. This is such an empowering conversation. Get excited, my friends!Connect with Michele:Email: grief@micheledeville.com Website: www.micheledeville.com Instagram: @micheledeville

What is Losses Become Gains?
After losing both of my parents to cancer within six months and my fur baby months later, there came a point in my journey of loss where I just knew all of this loss just couldn't be for nothing... it’s pretty simple, really. But getting to this point? Not so easy.
Eventually, I felt called to help people cope and get through their grief, too. I feel your pain, I see you, and I want to provide tools to help. After some time, I knew I had to take some action. Enter—Losses Become Gains.
The name Losses Become Gains came about because I knew, deep down somewhere, I knew there had to be more. A founding principle of LBG is to make this process as human to human as possible, because it's a very human thing to experience loss. This podcast felt like the next natural step.
We're all about learning, growing, and evolving. It’s about understanding our loss, our grief, how this has and will continue to affect us, and taking baby steps to move onward and upward from here. Is it minimizing or moving far away from who or what we’ve lost? Not at all. Really, it’s just comprehending how to find some semblance of peace and a level of acceptance with our losses. It’s how to turn these losses into gains, you feel me?
